Pamukkale, Located 20 kilometers
from the town of Denizli in the Aegean
region of Turkey, Pamukkale is one of the
most interesting places in the world, justly
famous not only for the entrancing beauty of
its unique geological formations but also
for its historical remains. The calcium
oxide-rich waters flowing down the southern
slope of Caldag located north of the ruins
have, over the millennia, built up deposits
of white travertine on the plateau thus
fully justifying both the site's ancient
name of Hierapolis (Holy City) and its
modern one of Pamukkale (Cotton Castle) Pamukkale is an
extraordinary wonder of nature. The
calceouse water rise from the ground at a
temperature of 36,5 Celsius degrees and
tumbles down the mountain from a height of
100 meters, forming a myriad of pools.
Cream- colored stalactites are formed as the
water overflows the pools, creating a breath
– taking sight unequalled in the world.
Water is the architect of this gleaming
fairy – castle resembling cotton or spring
which are recommended in the treatment of
heart diseases, circulatory problems, high
blood pressure, nervous disorders,
rheumatism, eye and skin diseases, nervous
and physical exhaustion, digestive maladies
and nutritional disorders.
